Pandora ate my homework


To recap, these are the functions the Pandora internet radio application will have access to if you install the Pandora application on your smartphone:
Full internet access, create bluetooth connections

Read contact data, add or modify calendar events and send email to guests

Phone calls: read phone state and identity

Modify global system settings, change wi-fi state, bluetooth administration, change network connectivity, prevent phone from sleeping.
That's right, an internet radio station wants to "read contact data, add or modify calendar events and send email to guests."

Look on the bright side: next time you forget something, blame it on Pandora.
"Hi, Boss. No of course I didn't forget our 2:00 meeting, must be that wacky Pandora app modifying my calendar events again!"
